Diaper Swappers

I'm mum to two early blessings. (Boy born at 33 weeks, now age 28 months and a new little girl) My youngest is now 9 weeks (five adjusted) and is a bit too long for her preemie clothes. However, all of her newborn clothes seems to swallow her! Does anyone have any advice on what brands run a touch small? Thanks!

Gerber are shorter and wider than Carters...

carters seemed to run smaller. can you do 2 pieces? like pants and shirts instead of sleepers?

How big are your babies? My DD was six pounds and carters and gerber fit her perfectly. Gerber was smaller than carters, but carter was still a good fit.

We had the same problem with my DD who was 3 weeks early. We found Faded Glory brand at Wal-Mart closed the gap for a few weeks for us

Gymboree sells the sizes "up to 5lbs" and "5-9 lbs" would those work?

Gymobree fits long and skinny.

My dd was a 6lb stringbean - best fit was the Gymboree "up to 7lbs"

The Kissy Kissy brand of clothing runs quite small. They are also very soft.

I had this same issue with my 33 weeker. WhatbI ended up doing was buying 100% cotton nb clothes and washed and dried hot hot several times, most shrunk at least a little.
